My two cents is that the value of this list is its expertise in film scanners. It's a film scanner group, not a group that happens to talk about film scanners. If one just wanted the group to be more talkative for the group's sake, we could just start talking about politics or religion and have perhaps tremendous volume, but what's the point? If the subject is changed, the people in the group will likely change, and the great film scanner group resource will be gone.
I also will say that it's my observation that the group gets talkative in spurts. Sometimes excessive spurts. :-) I for one, hope a Minolta 5400 thread will go on at some point (I may start it, perhaps later) because I'm considering getting a high quality film scanner for my birthday in November, but don't think I can justify over the 700 or so that the Minolta goes for. Where else could I get the expertise? So, I'd rather not have people with expertise leave the list because of the list's topic changing for the sake of more email volume.
